Summary
Activists Are Targeting Tucker Carlson, Show Losing Sponsors. Following statements made by Tucker Carlson about immigration and the migrant caravan social justice activists began sending letters and complaints to companies running ads on his program.
Several sponsors have pulled out of the show so far.
The primary criticism started after Carlson questioned diversity on a program in September and it would seem far left activists have maintained the campaign against his show.
Fox News and Carlson have refused to back down and issued a lengthy statement about defending their free speech from left wing activists.

| 0:00.0 | Activists are targeting Tucker Carlson over comments he made on his show about immigration. |
| 0:04.8 | They're sending strongly worded letters to advertisers in an attempt to get his sponsorship pulled. |
| 0:09.6 | And it's working. Several companies have pulled out some saying they're no longer going to support |
| 0:14.4 | any political opinion show, and who can blame them no matter what you do, someone seems to get offended. |
| 0:19.1 | But what we're seeing from the left is a common tactic. Instead of arguing facts and trying to |
| 0:23.1 | refute your points, they will just go for your funding source in this instance targeting the |
| 0:27.3 | sponsors of this show. We've seen similar things with other de-platformings, most notably |
| 0:32.0 | Patreon and Subscribestar. Activists figure the easiest way to shut you down is to cut off the |
| 0:37.3 | flow of income. Now what they're doing isn't necessarily wrong. You're in your right to send |
| 0:42.8 | strongly worded emails and letters to companies and let them know that you're upset. The issue is |
| 0:47.4 | that people on the other side aren't challenging this brigade. They don't engage in this behavior. |
| 0:52.9 | So these companies only see one side. And you have to imagine what will a company think when they |
| 0:57.8 | get inundated with 100 plus email saying this is wrong, don't do this. They can only assume that |
| 1:03.2 | these people are the general public and they're outraged. When in reality, it is just the squeaky |
| 1:08.1 | wheel begging for grease. So today, let's take a look at what's going on to Carlsen. And I want to |
| 1:12.2 | talk about the idea of conservatives and the right just not being able to appropriately combat |
| 1:18.5 | this tactic. But before we get started, please head over to TimCast.com-forth-slash-donate |

| 1:35.2 | From BuzzFeed News, advertisers are ditching Tucker Carlson on Fox News after he said immigrants |
